Cheery Lynn USA

Hi friends!  I hope all of you in the US had a wonderful 4th of July.  I don't make a lot of patriotic cards but being married to an Eagle Scout and having children in Scouts collect patriotic dies.  I thought it was time I put some of them to use.  I do use this star set all the time for birthdays, anniversaries, thank you and just because cards.  I love the pierced detail.

I popped the red square panel up with foam adhesive.  The  USA die cut came from the Military Dog Tags Set. I glued a blue layer over the Proud USA die and then a white layer behind to get the white stars.

Cheery Lynn Grateful

Hi crafty friends! With Memorial Day past and the 4th of July coming up I've been in the mood to create patriotic projects. The focal point of this card is the star shaker.  It's a snap to create using the Cheery Lynn Star Shaker Set. I cut pieces of foam and clear acetate that came in the set to make the shaker, added in the sequins and voila!. I love the star for it's versatility, it's great for birthdays and celebration projects.

I used the Pierced Banners Die to cut the stamped sentiment but modified the shape.  To get the fishtail edge on both sides I rolled it halfway through my Big Sister, making sure to only cut the fishtail edge side.  I then flipped the die, lining up the pierced detail and rolled it through the machine again cutting the fishtail edge on the other side. The holes make this die easy to line up and recut.  This quick modification is anther way to get more out of your die.  The solid blue stars are from the Pierced Stars Set and I used a Square Stitch & Cut Tool to get the stitched edges.

Cheery Lynn Cutie Fringe 4

For this card I used an A2 card base, then added a blue mat, then a red one and then used the Frantic Stamper Star Card Panel on top.  I cut the star card panel a second time and paper pieced in some of the blue stars.

I added three Cheery Lynn Cutie Fringe #4's that I rolled with a quilling tool.  The blue Celebrate word is from Frantic Stamper's Stars and Stripes Photo Card Die.

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see your stars and stripes cards!

HM Patriotic Stars

I created this for my friend's niece who has a birthday on July 4th.  I brushed Wink of Stella over the yellow stars and the white Star Border on the side is a die cut from Simon Says Stamp (it's one of the dies I purchased with my gift-card from the Wednesday challenge).
